New fees for ap­pli­ca­tions and ap­provals for cit­i­zen­ship, reg­is­tra­tion, and nat­u­ral­i­sa­tion in Trinidad and To­ba­go will take ef­fect from Jan­u­ary 1, 2026, fol­low­ing amend­ments to the Cit­i­zen­ship of the Re­pub­lic of Trinidad and To­ba­go Reg­u­la­tions.

Na­tion­al En­ter­pris­es Ltd (NEL) has re­port­ed a prof­it af­ter tax of $15.3 mil­lion for the fi­nan­cial year end­ed Sep­tem­ber 30, 2025.

Both Trinidad and To­ba­go Cy­cling Fed­er­a­tion Pres­i­dent Rowe­na Williams and JLD Cy­cling Prin­ci­pal Njisane Phillip ex­pect the re­cent im­passe be­tween this coun­try’s elite sprint cy­clists and the Fed­er­a­tion to be re­solved by Fri­day.

It’s that time of year when in­di­vid­u­als nat­u­ral­ly slip in­to self-re­flec­tion and self-pro­jec­tion. The clos­ing of one chap­ter and the an­tic­i­pa­tion of an­oth­er in­vite a re­view of wins and loss­es, along­side the draft­ing of bold res­o­lu­tions. For some in­di­vid­u­als, this two-pronged rit­u­al re­sults in ef­fi­cient ex­e­cu­tion and mea­sur­able progress. For oth­ers, it be­comes a slip­pery slope of un­met ex­pec­ta­tions, not be­cause of a lack of de­sire, but be­cause mo­ti­va­tion wanes un­der the heavy weight of com­pet­ing de­mands.
